I am intrigued by the upturned eye hook.
Why do you hate the 200R? I rather like it.

Lol, you've got the wrong guy. Wayne loves the 200R. It's ME! I hate the 200R with a heat that burns with the fire of a thousand suns.

Why? ...why does the moon chase the sun? It's an inherent part of my tying DNA; gawd, I despise that hook.

This forum really makes some people hold their emotions in check.

I’d kiss my sister before I’ll use a 200R.
I think the gape is awful and reduces hookups.
It’s one of the few I’d not use.
For anything
But hey if we were all the same, things would be boring….

The reasons I hate people, that hate the 200R are .....

No thanks. I have been down this path before. It can get terribly ugly. Almost as much as fishing the Reddds, or going with barbed hooks. 👍

To each his own. I don't have a sister to kiss, so there's that. Lol
